Yes, yes, you're so right. Removing any sort of national pride from the school day was brilliant idea. That way school age kids could instead get extra focus on how much the country screwed these people, those people, and several other people's people all down through history to modern day.
I guess NPR should talk to CNN and advise them of this.
The San Francisco-based 9th Circuit is the most liberal and overturned federal appeals court in the country. The court's three-judge panels are known for several contentious rulings, including one that declared the Pledge of Allegiance unconstitutional in public schools and a decision last month that postponed California's recall election. That ruling was later overturned by a larger 9th Circuit panel.
ALPS printers are great! Even the Printiva 700 series, which are clones of the ALPS, work wonderfully. I have had mine for several years and have only recently needed to change the color carts. At about $5/ea, it wasn't took bad on the pocket. Plus, you can print in metallic ink and a whole range of other type of inks. Photos look awesome from the MD5000 series, and not too bad from the lower end 1000 & 1300 series.
Apparently you are ignorant of the facts. If you had read the words that came with those cool charts at HardOCP and you would have seen this:
"A. Benchmarked on hardware put together and owned by HardOCP. B. Benchmarked using a demo recorded by id at the id offices the day of the benchmarking previously unseen by NVIDIA. c. No scripting language coded by NVIDA was used."
Doesn't sound like NVIDIA provided anything other than the card itself and the hard drive. ID themselves sent over the demo, not NVIDIA.
Probably none of the code. The feeling I got from the machine is that they took the little FIC machine, tacked on the etDVD from Elegent, dropped in a copy of their OS, slapped a big "Media Computer" sticker on the side, called it a day, and went out for a few drinks.
You're right, I don't know them. But, I know they can get a better computer for less money. I also know that frequently these types will see someone else doing something on a computer that thing is really neat and want to give it a whirl themselves. The system I reviewed just isn't cut out for that. They will quickly run into not being able to do many things because they hardware is pretty much stuck.
That was pretty much my point in the review. I couldn't find anything that I could use to call it a "Media Computer". It lacked power, good sound capabilities, smooth DVD/VCD/DivX/CD/MP3 playback, PVR, and video import/export. Yeah, the case it tiny and it is a quiet machine, but that was about it.

I don't want to see the US, give me a cam in the red light district in over in Amsterdam that pans.
Now that should be on any geek's trip. But, since he is backpacking, they will probably make him go shower somwhere first.

How about putting in an oversized EEPROM and splitting it between the system BIOS and and everything else.

PVR functionality would have greatly improved it's score with me. Provided it worked that is.

No it can't. It simply doesn't have the hardware/software to do it. Outputs? VGA. That's it.

DMA was enabled. I checked the BIOS for any possible tweaks I could make that would explain the behavior.
LOL. Sorry. I shall beat the hardware master for not upgrading before posting. :)
